Notes this is rare
the promo videos produced for Empty Glass.

these videos are taken from a 3rd or 4th gen VHS tape and therefore
doesn't have perfect quality, I would rate them B/B+.
but I never saw these gems anywhere else, so this is a worthy download
for every Who/PT fan.
If there's anyone out there who's sitting on better quality (master?) sources,
please upload them!

1-2: are 'acting' videos, most probably for use in TV.

3-6: are shot on the Who's stage, they used for the 1980 tour.
Looks like a rehearsal set up for the upcoming tour.
As The Who owned Shepperton Film Studios then, I guess
the video shooting was done there on Mar.22, 1980.
date is confirmed.
4 days later (3-26-80) the european leg of the tour started at
the Grugahalle in Essen. That date is even not mentioned in
the Who concert file book. But I was there and can confirm
that date!
the band who accompany PT consisted of a very very young
Simon Phillips, John Rabbit Brundrick, Big Country's Tony
Butler and Simon Townshend, but I'm not sure about him.

I've done net research, if these videos were ever used for commercial
release, and I've found absolutely nothing, so I might say that, to my
knowledge, all these videos were not officially released.

enjoy!
